These Low Carb Baked Ham and Egg Cups are the perfect on-the-go breakfast. The ham makes a cup that is stuffed full of eggs and cheese.
A LOW CARB BREAKFAST OR SNACK
Breakfast is the hardest meal to manage everyday in my house. But really, it’s the most important meal. I mean, you just don’t function right on an empty stomach. And your brain isn’t firing on all cylinders either, you know what I mean? So breakfast is the meal that I struggle to get the whole family to eat on busy school and workday mornings.
PROTEIN PACKED BREAKFAST
Generally I can only get my boys to eat scrambled eggs, so this was a great way to change it up and still give them something they enjoy. This was a huge hit!! They really tasted amazing. The eggs bake up so nice and fluffy and the ham gets just a little crispy around the edges. Read my notes below for other add-in flavor ideas!
INGREDIENTS NEEDED: (FULL RECIPE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE POST)
- sliced ham
- shredded cheddar cheese
- eggs
- green onions
- salt and pepper
HOW TO MAKE BAKED HAM AND EGG CUPS:
Preheat oven to 350F degrees.Spray a muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray.
Place individual ham slices over each muffin cup and gently press down in the middle until a cup shape forms.
In the bottom of each ham cup, add in about a tablespoon of shredded cheddar cheese.
In a medium bowl, whisk eggs together.
Stir in sliced green onions and salt and pepper, to taste.
Add a couple of tablespoons of the egg mixture into each of the ham cups.
Place muffin tin in the oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes.
When done, use a fork to gently remove each ham cup and serve.
Cook’s Notes:Some additional add-ins could be diced tomatoes, green peppers or crumbled bacon. Just be sure to adjust the amount of egg mixture to account for any additional ingredients added. These also freeze very well and can be reheated in the microwave.

So easy to make and delicious! I made batches with add ons also (mushrooms and bacon). Made ahead for Mother’s Day and just microwaved in the morning.Reply
Best breakfast for visitors or friendsReply
Wonder how long they need to cook in an air fryer oven?

I know this is an old post, but I just stumbled across it. I just started Keto and was looking for some breakfast ideas. I made these this morning, and oh. my. gosh! They are soooooo good! I made exactly as the recipe stated, and just added some chopped orange pepper. I had to bake about 30 minutes in my convection oven. They are perfect! So flavorful and filling!Reply
